HEATING SYSTEM.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, VVILLIAM HENRY SWETT, a citizen of the United Statesresiding at Berkeley, in the county of Alameda and State of California,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating Systems, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to heating systems and the principal object ofthe same is to provide a heating system having a novel type of radiatorso that heated air from the furnace can be used for heating the rooms.

In carrying out the objects of the invention, generally stated above, itwill be understood, of course, that the essential features thereof aresusceptible of changes in detail and structural arrangements, onepreferred and practical embodiment of the invention being shown in theaccompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is an elevation of a furnace andof the improved radiator connected therewith. Fig. 2 is an end elevationof the radiator.

In the accompanying drawings the nu. meral 10 indicates a hot airfurnace of any desired type which has a heat conveying flue 11 leadingtherefrom. It is of course, obvious that any number of flues may beprovided. The fine 11 is carried through the floor 12 and has a damper13 mounted in its upper portion. The radiator is connected with theupper end of the flue and comprises alower cylinder 14: which issupported by means of the legs 15. A number of vertical pipes 16 leadfrom the lower cylinder and have their upper ends connected by a secondcylinder 17 which is parallel with the cylinder 14. The lower ends ofeach pipe is provided with one or more openings 18 and a collar 19surrounds the lower end of each of the pipes 16 and is provided withopenings 20 adapted to be brought intoregistry with the openings 18. Byturning the collars the size of the openings 18 can be regulated bybringing the openings 20 partially or wholly into registry with them orby moving the collars so Specification of Letters Patent.

that the openings 18 will be entirely closed. The cylinder 17 has itsends each provided with an opening 21 so that heated air can pass outthrough the openings, thus permitting a draft through the radiator. Eachend of the cylinder 14 is provided with a vertical opening 22 and hastracks 23 to each side of the opening so that a slide 24 may be mountedin each end of the cylinder. By raising the slides 24; the ends of thecylinder 14 may be opened so that heated air can escape through thecylinder directly into the room.

\Vhen using this device a fire is built in the furnace 10 and heated airpasses through the flue 11 into the cylinder 14 from which it passesinto the pipe 16 and into the cylinder 17. The heated air causes theradiator to be heated and thus heats the air in the neighborhood of theradiator. A portion of the heated air escapes through opening 21 andthrough the openings in the lower ends of the pipes 6 so that heated airenters the room. If it is desired to heat the room more rapidly theslides 24 are raised so that the heated air can pass directly from thecylinder 14 into the room. It will thus be seen that the room is heatednot only by the radiator becoming hot, but also by the heated airescaping into the room through the openings 22. By turning the damper 13the amount of heated air entering the radiator can be controlled.

What I claim is 1. A radiator comprising a lower cylinder, a pluralityof vertical pipes leading from said cylinder, and provided with openingsadjacent their lower ends, a collar surrounding each of said pipes andprovided with openings adapted to be brought into registry with theopenings in said pipe, and a cylinder connected with the upper ends ofsaid pipes.

2. A radiator comprising a lower cylin' der provided with verticalopenings in its ends, and provided with tracks adjacent said openings,slides mounted in said tracks, a plurality of vertical pipes leadingfrom said cylinder and provided with openings adjacent their lower endscollars sur- In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence oftwo witnesses.

rounding the lower ends of said pipes and provided with openings adaptedto be brought into registry with the openings of said pipes, and asecond cylinder connected with the upper ends of said pipes and providedwith openings in its ends.
